NILFS is a log-structured file system supporting versioning of an entire file system and continuous snapshotting that allows users to restore files mistakenly overwritten or destroyed a while ago.
This site provides related resources of NILFS including source packages and binary packages.
NILFS is under development. We welcome any comments or contributions.
- A summary of NILFS2 usage was put on What is NILFS? page.
